Bought this on Monday. Just waiting for it to be delivered. Will not be letting the mrs know what it cost and, as ever, asking for forgiveness is far easier than asking for permission!

 

Nice work!

Take the rest of the day off...with pay.

Double Rothcos today at the donut factory...

 

I see the lanyard, what did you fly in the Navy?

 

SH-60B Seahawk helicopters.

Rotors rule.

 

I figured that might be the case by the avatar, but then going from rotary to fixed with Delta seemed like an odd segue.

How many years since you flew Seahawks?

 

I took the long road to the majors...I flew at a Delta Connection regional carrier for over 6 years [to build fixed wing time] in order to get hired at mainline Delta in 2001.

It's been almost 25 years since I last flew the Seahawk...I left active duty in 1992.

 

Package weight: 10.84 lb
My wait: too long


I have never been so excited about the arrival of a book.

 

I'm sure you guys have seen this. My retired coastie pilot buddy introduced it to me. Be warned, it's not for those offended by cuss words....

 

OK...that's about the funniest thing I've seen in about 10 years...freaking F A N T A B U L O U S...the TOP GUN references are just too dang funny. Thanks for posting that...I'm going to show it to all my rotor head buddies.

 

Thanks...she's a beauty and she knows it...

Yet another great way to keep me busy........

 

It's been a good day today. Watch came this morning, strap and DEPLOYANT (honestly thought someone was gonna shoot me when I first joined and called it deployment) were already in place....



Barely out of the box and I'm already itching to try a strap on it.

Happy Easter folks

 

My first mall watch, while wearing a Speedmaster .....

 

niiiiiiiiceeeeeeeee!!!!!

 

Has a great story behind it, just waiting for a release to post the story.

Super stoked for this one

 

Ah, the new replica of the "other" moonwatch....

 

Yes, I want to see more / hear about how it wears! Quite possibly the only quartz watch I'd consider buying these days...

 

Where did you source that?

 

watchprint via amazon
